Mediterranean, Greece.
Duke Xu Chengzong of Wei's face was very bad, not because the war was not going well, nor because his subordinates suffered a loss.
Caesar poured a glass of wine for Xu Chengzong: "Old Mr. Xu, don't get angry about these things, you just lose a small dock. Don't you often say that the way of military strategists is not about the gains and losses of a city and a pool. Let's see what they are going to do first? In terms of land warfare, we do not have the advantage and have too few troops. But naval warfare is still sure."
"I'm angry because that person actually..."
"You mean Alfonso V, so what about capriciousness? Kill your own brothers for the sake of profit. I have never believed him. He is an ambitious person. From the day he betrayed the Pope, he was destined to betray us. A person's faith will persist even if his life reaches its end!"
Caesar said while pouring wine for Xu Chengzong.
Xu Chengzong nodded: "It's reasonable, I believe in Taoism. The one I married home was a Buddhist. She wanted me to believe in Buddhism, but I wanted her to believe in Buddhism, but I beat her up so much that she didn't even know her mother, and she still believed in Buddhism. I still believed in Buddhism, but she was very good to me and I could trust her."
"Actually, our Orthodox Church was in the past, and there were also those who were combined with other religions. This did not conflict. Everyone believed in their own religion. However, the Ottoman Empire was different. If you don't believe it, you will die. Whether you are married, you must believe in their religion. I think this is not good, but this topic is too far-reaching. 5, ww□w. Let's first say that we will give up some retreat and see how the situation is."
Duke Xu Chengzong of Wei gave himself a sip of wine and nodded: "It is not easy to give up, and his subordinates also need to comfort him."
"But we must give up some for the land strategy!" Caesar understood that even if the entire Byzantine people are now soldiers, they cannot defeat the Ottoman Empire and the Pope.
Just as the two were studying the map, someone came in.
"His Royal Highness, China has an emergency telegram. Because of the urgency, it has been sent directly to us. I believe there should be no translation errors, so that officials who have learned Chinese have carefully checked it." A Byzantine officer came in, holding a telegram in both hands.
Xu Chengzong read it carefully but did not react much. Instead, he lit a cigar and began to think deeply.
Caesar also took it and took a look.
It says that the Chinese Emperor personally fought for three ships, with the captains of the Chinese Emperor, Baiming He, Deng Hailong, and the target of the Mediterranean.
"Three boats? Isn't the translation wrong? Not three thousand?" Caesar's first reaction was that this was wrong.
What is the identity of the emperor of the Chinese Empire? There are only three ships. Isn’t this funny? Or it is understandable that it is three fleets.
"No. It's just three!" Xu Chengzong spoke.
"Three?"
"That's right, I didn't expect that Bai Minghe used all three. You can't underestimate these three. One can dominate the Mediterranean. Even if my fleet is there, I will die in the face of any of these ships. I can't describe how terrible this ship is. Bai Minghe spent five years to fight. The pure steel hull is pure steel inside and out. I have seen it in the workshop where the shells are made. The most expensive shell is 200 taels of silver. As long as one shot is hit, no ship in the world can still stay on the sea, including my flagship, it is also a one shot. It's also a very, very long range. It is said to be fifty miles, and it will definitely sink when you see the ship. I didn't expect it... "
Of course, Xu Chengzong never expected that Bai Minghe would take out this big killing weapon.
Caesar was also silent. He lit a cigarette for himself.
It is one thing to be powerful, but it is another thing to use it.
After the ship sailed to the Mediterranean, how to exert its maximum combat power and play a strategic role, and how the troops on the Mediterranean cooperated is definitely a big problem.
For a while, Xu Chengzong had no idea, but he just talked about what he knew, but not much information about the battleships of the steel battleships.
At this time, the South China Sea of ​​Ming Dynasty.
Guangzhou has no berth for this ship to enter the port, but that's it. The Chinese Emperor Zhu Qiyu also asked to drive the ship in, turn around the port, then replenish some coal, and then turn around and leave.
Everyone in China is discussing this giant steel ship. Who would have thought that a ship made of steel could float on the water.
The people were fanatically watching the pier.
The Chinese Emperor Zhu Qiyu was wearing armor and waved to the people at the bow of the ship.
"Long live, Lord Bai's ship has been away for more than ten miles." Wei Shaoqing reminded him.
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "We also set out and sent a telegram to Baiminghe. The second stop is to replenish supplies at the port of Temasek, then the third stop is at the Malacca Exit, the fourth stop is Ceylon, and the fifth stop is directly to Africa."
"Yes, I'll go to generate electricity now." Knowing that Zhu Qiyu was going to show off his giant steel ship, Bai Minghe ran away first. Deng Hailong couldn't. He still had a guard mission. He was demoted to a captain as a fleet admiral. But as this captain, the entire navy was willing to do so.
The captain of the first giant steel ship, Liu Fangfengsheng and other things are not considered.
Just talking about this ship is definitely a pure man’s treasure.
In the South China Sea, Bai Minghe was moving forward at full speed, so Bai Minghe didn't like being watched, so he left one step ahead. Bai Minghe pulled Angela to the bow of the boat and always wanted to play with her gorgeous arm-displaying. Now she finally had a chance. Angela was wearing a European palace outfit and could recreate the style of the movie.
Angela laughed happily.
The white fox appeared behind Bai Minghe with disappointment at this time: "Young Master, this is too dangerous, you make the guards nervous."
"Okay, okay." Bai Minghe hugged Angela down.
"The first mate said, we are too fast. Although everything is normal in the boiler, the distance is still far. I asked you if you want to reduce the economic speed, so I directly slowed down. After all, the road is very long, and it will be troublesome if there is a fault. If it is broken in the Mediterranean, it will be bad at the sea, which is not ridiculous."
"Don't worry, this boiler won't break so easily. But be careful, listen to you."
The white crane supports the white fox's approach.
The white fox said again: "Young Master, why don't you care about anything?"
"I just had a name, and everyone knew it. Let professionals do professional things, tell them Temasek to carefully check all the boilers of the three boats. Then the three boats act together. After all, Malacca is not our territory. If someone attacks... I hope no one will attack."
"The young master is right, but I know that everyone on and off the boat is looking forward to someone coming to attack us without eyes."
"Maybe."
Bai Minghexin said that unless water enters the head, the small wooden boat dares to attack the steel warship. What is this funny?
Baiminghe's ship is the fastest, not because of its speed, but because it has not stopped at Guangzhou Port for too long and has not even replenished coal. He is preparing to come to Temasek or Malacca for supplies.
There are a lot of coal burning in the sixteen boilers on this ship.
Likewise, there is no way to enter the port, and all supplies are transported by small boats. No one has designed a large berth that can rely on this boat before.
The guard here approached the boat, but was not qualified to get on board. According to the order of the Chinese Emperor Zhu Qiyu, the boat does not allow any non-registered personnel to board the boat for the time being, so the supply was lifted on board by crane. If you want to see it, you can only look at it from a distance and you are happy to see it.
When Bai Minghe arrived, the Japanese were very nervous and sent someone to greet him, but Bai Minghe refused.
"Sir, I should give the Japanese a good look!" Wan Xueer persuaded him. At this time, because there were other military officers around, Wan Xueer called Bai Minghe the Lord, not the Young Master. At this time, Wan Xueer was still wearing a scholar-in-law shirt, dressed like a master, and had no makeup on her face.
"No, I'll just stop for a long time anyway. Just make them afraid, just let them see the boat."
About an hour later, the ship of the Chinese Emperor Zhu Qiyu and Deng Hailong also arrived. He was originally preparing to enter the port to replenish supplies, but when he saw dozens of Japanese in Chinese clothes kneeling on the dock, Zhu Qiyu said to Wei Shaoqing: "No wonder Bai Minghe was rushing to come over. Let's make the people happy, but he came to make the Japanese look scared."
"Long live the wisdom!" Wei Shaoqing replied next to him.
"Forget it, let me tell Bai Minghe. I think the Japanese sword skills are pretty good. I will pick four better ones. I will add two people to the imperial guards. I will arrange two female ninjas for Bai Minghe." Zhu Qiyu looked at the Japanese who were kneeling on the ground and said to Wei Shaoqing.
Wei Shaoqing asked again: "Long live, do you think you want a female tolerant?"
"That's right, you have to be a female tyrant. This is what I mean, let them be assigned to the female guards of the East Factory. I don't want to worry about what they need to do later. I think Bai Minghe will have an idea. Even if he doesn't care, the women around him are very good." Zhu Qiyu said that it was Wan Xueer, born in the East Factory, and she was a ruthless woman.
Wei Shaoqing went down to make arrangements.
What can Bai Minghe say? There are only two words, obey.
However, the Japanese finally felt at ease. The old man from the Oda family who had been kneeling for the longest was wet with sweat. It was not because it was hot here, but because he was too nervous and was really afraid that Bai Minghe would be unhappy.
On the boat, Bai Minghe lit a cigar and said to Wan Xueer: "I'm not unhappy, but I'm very happy. But I can't let the Japanese know that I'm happy. The two women are here. Look at the arrangement, and some places on the boat will give orders. If it's a taboo, it must be a taboo. Let's arrange for people to say a word to the boat."
"Young Master, don't worry, the taboo places are guarded by our elites in the East Factory."
Wan Xueer will naturally be careful. This ship is a magic weapon, an invincible magic weapon in the world. The key locations are the control room, steam room, transmission room, etc., and there are not many restrictions on the other ship warehouses.
Deng Hailong stood at the bow of the ship. He had no political thoughts, but said to the deputy general: "I have not figured out how to use this ship until now. I'm afraid the Duke of Wei is also in a dilemma. Although it is a magic weapon, it will be a big problem if he cooperates with other legions."
